Includes some NSFW titles so you'll have to do some googling. Ends in less than 48 hours.

Well... now I have fourteen games, and it looks like eleven of them are porny.
Thanks, dude. needed an excuse to set up a GoG account anyway.

Now that I'm there, may as well spend actual money. Suggestions?

A really fun mystery/puzzle/deduction game. I'd wait for a sale though.

I grabbed it just because this is intended as a message. A quick look says I am unlikely to actually play any of them.

already got that.

Hey - Ultima 9 is only three dollars. It's a pretty terrible game, but still - three dollars.

I recognize a few of these as porn VNs that are noise on the tubesites, usually with korean or russian commentary.

Indeed. NSFW aspect aside, they're all either old enough that I've had plenty of opportunities to get them for next to nothing already, or they aren't particularly good. Given that they were volunteered for the bundle, I think even their publishers are assuming that they aren't games that are likely to make them any money in sales in the near future, so not exactly hot ticket items. Still, I'm all for sending a message.

I may actually install Postal2.

This giveaway got me to buy all nine Ultima games, so GoG is already ahead from at least one new user who got a bunch of porn VNs that will likely never get installed.

I think 8 was the last Ultima I played and I don't remember it being very good.

Ultima 9 is pretty terrible, but it was also only $3.

I used to think this way. Now I have 800 games I've never played. I've stopped thinking that way.

This is a "digital future" i'm okay with. Better to pay three dollars for a game I already know is janky, than sixty or seventy for a complete mystery.

While there's merit in that approach, I tend to be a little more discerning. If I know I won't enjoy a game, I don't buy it regardless of how cheap it is, and I pretty much never buy anything that might qualify as a "complete mystery." Unless it's bundled with something I know I want and expect to enjoy, I don't buy anything unless I have reason to expect I'll enjoy it, being stricter with those expectations the more expensive a game is. Heck, I'm at a point now where I turn down some giveaways because I don't expect them to be worth the effort of claiming and cataloguing them.
